Spacenavigator for Gaming

[Venzon]

I was on the fence about getting the Spacenavigator, but this thread made my mind. This is awesome lol. I just hope I'll be able to set it up properly once I get it. Cheers fellas.

Interesting controller in your photos.
In which games do you use it?

I use this controller for all games.

I mainly use it in first person shooters, COD

Does anyone know if the RBC9 driver is still working for Windows 10 x64? I have been trying to get it running, and although it installs Ok (following the procedure), the driver fails to start, and reports an "insufficient memory" error - which sounds like driver speak for "Windows has changed something and I'm no longer compatible!"

The KMJ emulation in the current official 3D Connexion drivers does not seem to be working even though the KMJ device appears in Windows, and I get the impression from reading posts that this is a known issue. Hence I am looking into the RBC9 option.

I removed the electronics form a Spacenavigator and fabricated a custom grip. I"m using the RBC9 driver and software on Windows 10 for custom gaming setup.. I've been using this setup since 2010.

muddiman,

I'm interested in the custom mount you made. Was it off the shelf parts or was the grip custom made? Links to the parts or make/model #? I am trying to accommodate a CAD designer that has arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. So I'm looking to move the SpaceMouse control wheel into a more natural position for extended use.

mrslysly,
The custom mount is a modified SpaceOrb. The SpaceOrb was a gaming product from the mid-'90s. I cut the SpaceOrb in half, added a RAM ball mount point. fabricated a mounting plate for the SpaceNavigator electronics, created a ball to cover for the SpaceNavigator puck and added the buttons. I then used automotive Bondo to complete the final shape. I'm still using the RBC9 software and modified driver in Windows 10 64bit for gaming.
